Update in Craft's Journal

New finished project posted here: http://kitolacrafts.blogspot.com/

My "closing show" for the Gaslighter gor canceled for this weekend. Bugger all...that makes me sad. Damn the director for canceling.

Here's the basic idea of the phone call I got:
Director: Hi Caity! Listen, this huge party of 25 canceled today, so I moved the party of 13 to the night show.
Me: *blink* ....uh...
Director: I didn't want to do the show for just 13 kids.
My thoughts: Well, I would've....

Meh. Oh well, at least I got to go see Batman Begins. Just WOW. VERY good movie. Having never seen ANY Batman movies (Yes, I know, bad Caity)...it seems like a great place to start. I'm sure I'll be checking out others now. Whee!

Improv Everywhere: We Cause Scenes

http://improveverywhere.com/missions.php

I'm so going to try to get my friends involved in some local version of this. It looks like a lot of fun. My favorite so far is the moebius strip one.

Six Legged Puppy

I totally want one for my birthday.

Joey Week

Let's see...not too much going on in the life here. Rehearsals for Seussical are getting better, so YAY! Vocals are over in a few more weeks. The clover count for the show is 461. I'd make more, but I'm on a new project now that's also for the show.

Joey came up this week! I got to spend a lot of time with him, so yay. Run down here:
Monday: Quick hi there and hello after the drive up and spending time with his guy pals.
Wednesday: Went to S.F. for the day, listening to the SPAMALOT soundtrack on the way. I seriously want to go to Broadway and see this musical now....it's hysterical. Huzzah for Monty Python!!
Thursday: Didn't actually plan on seeing Joey today, but since mom was picking up dad from the airport, someone had to take our Border Collie to the dogpark. While talking to Joey online, I asked if he wanted to go with me. So we both went and played with the pup at the park. Lots of fun was had by all.
Friday: We went to see "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"....and I thought it was a great movie. LOTS of fun.

He went back to L.A. today, but stopped by the rehearsal to say goodbye beforehand.

Urhm, other than that my Gaslighter show closes next week -- save for the few shows during the day for Summer Camps. But it won't be the whole cast, so it won't be the same. Actually, next week we won't even have our regular villian. Not fun.

Jackson Verdict

Not Guilty on all counts.

Drama drama drama

So as I was leaving the Gaslighter Theater today, I saw this crowd of people on the sidewalk as well as three cop cars, and someone lying on the pavement. Apparently, a motorcyclist had gotten hit.

Ewww.

After crossing the street to walk on the other side, this other woman gave me the details on what (apparently) happened. This motorcycle's "accelerator got stuck and she smashed into the back of the S.U.V." (note, those aren't my words...so if it's inacurate to how a motorcycle works, it's not my fault!) His face was all cut up and he probably had a broken arm and leg...but would hopefully be okay.

What I think happened was that he started his motorcycle, didn't see the stopped car, and smashed into it. I think that due to the fact that the Gaslighter's owner said that she heard a motorcycle start up not too long ago. *shrug*

In other Gaslighter news: I got $25 today from tips (average is $5), despite the fact that a lot of my lines were missed. Huzzah!!

Joey's Blog

For those of you concerned about the lack of Joey's blog and/or forums:

Don't worry. They will be back at some point. Right now, he's taken them down for refurbishment. I don't know when they'll be back. Maybe tomorrow, maybe a few weeks...hell, maybe a few months. But either way, don't despair! They'll return before Jesus' second coming.

Why God, why!?

Sk8er Boi - the movie

Isn't this a sign of the apocolypse?

*Purr* and *Owwie*

*Purr*
Joey's in town for a week or so and I got to spend a lot of time with him last night. We watched Lost and Alias, then spent a lot of time being snuggly cuddly. Ended the night with spending some time at Carrow's due to hunger setting in at about 2:00 in the morning. I'll get to spend more time with him before he leaves, and hopefully we'll be going to Fanime either on Friday or Monday, since I'm busy on the other days.

*Owwie*
My uterus feels like it's trying to claw it's way out of my body. Owwie. Meh, it's still better than it was before the BC pills.

Bloody. Fucking. OW.

Guess who fucked up her neck today!!

Okay, so here's the whole story:
I was trying to see if something would work for a dance number, which requires having the person's chin waaaaay up. And I threw my head back too hard, I guess. So I now have pain from the base of my head to mid back/just around shoulder blades.

If it's worse or not any better tomorrow, I'm going to ditch my acting class to go see the doctor. Since, yanno, I've got to go dance even more tomorrow.

On a different note, on to auditions for the show. Sixty-four people showed up. Ten of them were adults (three men, seven women). Out of the remaining fifty-four, about seven were boys. The director's worried about getting enough talented boys to play the Wickersham Brothers...we need at least three, and we have one that'd make a deffinate Wickersham. The guy down the street I was trying to get into the show didn't show up today, so if he does tomorrow he'll undoubtedly end up as a Wickersham.

I'm rambling, and my ice pack needs to go back in the fridge.

Quotes of the day

Backstory: My kid show has been canceled last week, this week, and next week as well. So it'll be a month since the last time I've done it when the girlscouts AND my group are showing up.

(I just arrived at the Gaslighter to see the comedy show and am approached by my director)

Director: CAITY!
Me: Mark!
Director: Caity DAHLING!
Me: Whatie, dahling?
Director: Do you think we'll EVER do a kid's show again?
Me: What is this "Children's Show" of which you speak?


In other news, the comedy show was....okay. I didn't really get to enjoy it until the ANNOYING DUMBASS TEENAGERS left the balcony. Honestly, they got so rowdy and disrespectful that Security had to be sent up to keep an eye on them. Thankfully, they left after their two friends had performed....so about half way through. The following did occur, though.

MC: You in the balcony are going to have to settle down.
Me: Thank GOD, it's about time.
Two Teenage Twits: *Turn and give me an OMG BURN IN HELL look*
My brain: What? Shut the fuck up, you're fifteen.
What I actually did: *Ignores them and watches the show*

Stress!!

Auditions for Seussical are coming up this weekend. I've finished the dance to teach folk for it, but...yanno, I'm still having stress dreams about it. People not showing up, or not understanding the dance. Yargh.

I also have a 2 page paper due tomorrow, and a 7 pager due in two more weeks (that I haven't started yet). Gaaah....I'm feeling overwhelmed. I need hugs.

Edit: Finished four ASL papers (three about guest speakers, one about video tapes). I have two more video-tape ones to do, and God only knows how many webpage ones. Also, I need to go to a Deaf Event (I was going to on the 30th, but I forgot).

I also got my 2 page paper done nice and early. The 7 pager still needs to be started....and...have the topic decided on.

Ahh, family...

Sometimes, it makes my hurt hurt to know that my sister's actually related to me.

Long story short, my niece (16 years old) got dumped at my house yesterday because her mom "couldn't deal with her." Actually, what she couldn't deal with was the fact that my niece is being a teenager -- and her husband acts like one (meaning immature, pig-headed, bossy, etc)

So, I'm off to drive the teenager to school. Wheeee.

Does this mean I'm going to hell?

I can't help but smirk at the fact that there's the bar at the bottom of my TV screen that says "LIVE" on it....while I'm watching the procession of Pope John Paul II's body. Not at the fact he's dead....just that it's a dead body and it says "LIVE"...
